Motion seconded by Ms. DeVine. AIi in favor. Motion carried. 1 � . APPEARANCES , Mr. Wayne LeBlanc made an appearance before the Park and Recreation Committee regarding the Design Team follow-up visit. Mr. LeBlanc expressed there aze residents in Centerville who are always willing to volunteer in any way needed. There were a couple of issues that Mr. LeBlanc wanted to address. The first issue was the property owned by the St. Paul Water Utility across the street from LaMotte Park. Apparently St. Paul Water Utility has leased out the home on the property for another two years and may sell the property when the current contract expires. Mr. Navin ' confirmed that the Park and Recreation Committee had been watching the property and were � � waiting on an appraisal when they were notified that it ha.d been put on hold. Mr. Navin expressed that the Park and Recreation Committee will be very interested in the property once it goes back on the market. The second issue Mr. LeBlane wanted to address was two properties just north of the church on main street. The six-plex and the cottage next to it are for sale for $300,000. Mr. LeBlanc feels this is a key piece of property for the City, and if the City doesn't act on it �ow, it will loose out on a great opportunity. This piece of property was part of the overall concept of the Design Team visit and is a perfect place to put a pier or gazebo on the lake. It would continue the flow of the Design Team vision. Mr. Navin explained that the owner of the property did approaeh the City ifl regards to the City purchasing the property. The Park Dedication Fees will not support a purchase of the property at this time, however, if City Council is willing to appropriate additional funds it would allow for the purchase. The Park and Recreation Committee agree with the concept, and are in favor of the purchase, but cannot pay for it. Mr. Sweeney agreed, questioning if the priority of the Park and Recreation Committee is the current parks in Centerville, or if purchasing this property to go along with the vision of the Design Team is the priority. If the later is the priority, it might take away from the budget approval which the Pazk and Recreation Committee is currently trying to justify by upgrading the cunent parks in the City. Mr. March explained there would have to be a feasability study done in order to put a trail all the way around the lake. Main street will need a paved shoulder installed across from the Lakeland Hills development. If a trail is installed going a11 the way around the lake, the City would have to work with and need help from Anoka County to conneet the trail. Anoka County will begin worki�g on the beach and trails in the spring, but will only be connecting the trails in the County Park areas. It will be up to the City to connect to the trail where the County Park area ends. Mr. Mazch also felt that the piece of property may never be able to be developed because of the City's Shoreland Ordinance. Mr. March also explained the appraisal on the two pieces of property came in considerably lower than the asking price. The asking price for the property � 2 � � � � with the cottage was $15,000 to $20,000 higher than the appraised value, which may explain why Anoka County dropped the issue. Mr. Sweeney stressed that the City will not necessarily lose the property. Througti the process of condemnation the City can purchase the property at fair market value at any time. Mr. Navin requested to table this issue until the ne�ct meeting. The final issue Mr. LeBlanc wanted to address was the Hugo Trail system. Mr. LeBlanc heard of plans to install a four lane highway from 35E to Hwy. 61. If this is true he would like to see the City connect our future trail system to Hugo during this project. This would be the perfect � opportunity to put in a trail system connecting Centerville, Hugo, Forest Lake and beyond. A foot bridge or tunnel would be needed to by-pass 35E. Pracher Propertv Mr. Mazch explained that a developer by the name of Rick Cazlson is in the process of pwchasing the Pracher property that is just south of LaMotte Park. The Pracher property isn't scheduled into the MtJSA until next year. Mr. Carlson would like to approach the Council and ask if they would be willing to change the date this property is scheduled in the MUSA to one year earlier. Mr. March stated that he didn't feel the Council would be willing to change the date, unless there was some type of benefit for the City. Mr. Mazch suggested that Mr. Carlson donate park - ' equipment or trails, in addition to the park dedication fees he is required to pay. The Council may I be more receptive to modifying the Comp Plan. Mr. Carlson was very receptive to this ! suggestion and was wil�ng to donate additional equipmentltrails. The type of homes that will be ' built in the proposed development will be similar to the homes in Lakeland Hills, or better. Mr. � March continued, stating that if Mr. Carlson were to connect a trail to the Anoka County trail � system and bring it up the west edge of Centerville Road, then Gor-em could continue the trail to � Gerald Rehbein's property. Mr. Rehbein wants to donate some of his property to the City for tax purposes. From Mr. Rehbein's property the trail would go to Ken Carpenter's properry. Mr. Carpenter opposes a trail behind his property. His home is behind his business, and he already has � concerns about a possible trail. Beyond Mr. Carpenter's property, the trail could run along the , Industrial Park and cross 20�' Avenue at any point. The larger issue is crossing the interstate. _ Previously Council was opposed to a Green Way Corridor; however, with the new Council they may be more receptive. Mr. Sweeney rnentianed that the Anoka County Highway Department has the bridge going over 35E on their "to do" list. Mr. March suggested that the Park and Recreation Committee send a letter to Lino Lakes and Hugo stating that Centerville would like to see a trail system run across 35E connecting the communities and allowing for future destination points. Mr. LeBlanc volunteered to draft a letter to the appropriate parties, and submit it to Ms. Lien to include in the packet for review at the November meeting. 3 � OLD BUSINESS ' . Ilpdate on Acorn Creek Pazk Mr. Tom Fairbrother (1844 Revoir St.) reported there are 32 volunteers available to assist in setting up the playground equipment at Acorn Creek Park on October 23`�. Mr. Fa'ubrother commented the beginning phases are progressing. The grading has been completed, and the ground has been prepared for the equipment, excluding the drilling of the holes for installation. 7umpin Java will be providing breakFast, Comer Express will be providing beverages throughout the day, and lanch will also be provided. Mr. Bill Bisek ran the Twin Cities Marathon with the intent of his pledges being donated to Acorn Creek Park for handicap accessible equipment. All � business names who have given donations in support of Mr. Bisek will be placed on a banner. The playground equipment will be delivered on Wednesday, October 20'� around 11:00 a.m., and a pre-construction meeting is scheduled for the same day at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Fairbrother mentioned he received a flyer from Larson Landscape and Nursery for trees at a discounted price of $50 each with a two year warranty. The CNN is interested in planting some trees around the playground structure for shade. Mr. Fairbrother also stated that the cement came in $4,000 below the anticipated price. Mr. Fa.irbrother suggested that Park and Recreaxion send tnank you letters to all those involved. The CNN will provide a list of volunteers. Mr. Fairbrother listed several items that will be needed for installation: First aid kit, orange fencing, move the satellite from the Tracie McBride Park to Acorn Creek Park and ca11 Waste Management for a garbage bin for the plastic, pallets and garbage. Mr. March added that a tree grant of up to $15,000 might be available in the spring. Also, Joe Goetz (Goetz Landscapingj would like to work with NSP again this year for another NSP Tree Grant give-away. Motion by Mr. Larson, secancted by Mr. Porter to ezpend $400.00 of Park and Recreation Funds to purehase eight (S) trees at �50 each far Acorn Creek Park. All in favor. Motion carried. State of the Parks Address / Park Priorit�Lists Mr. Navin commented that the Park and Recreation Committee viewed all of the parks in , Centerville on September 4, 1999, to inspect the condition of each park. All af the committee members were asked to prioritize the parks, by writing a list of the parks and what they feel each park needs as far as improvements. By each member compiling a list, this will better justify to the City Council, the request from the Park and Recreation Committee for a$50,000 budget for the year 2000. All lists were tumed into Ms. Lien, who will compile the lists into one for the �, November meeting. 4 Motion by Ms. DeVine to replace the broken toddler swing at the Tracie McBride Park with an infant swing.� Motion seconded by Mr. Porter. Yea's by Ms. DeVine, Mr. Navin, � Mr. Porter and Mr. Brown. Nay by.Mr. Larson. Motion carried. i Hockev Season - General Discussion Mr. Brown questioned if there ha.ve been any ads placed in the local newspaper for ice rink attendants. He will need 5-b people to work at the ice rink, and in the past there hasn't been much of a turnout for appticants. If there are enough applicants, he would like to have an interview pracess, instead of just hiring anyone we can get. � Ms. Lien stated that no ads have been run yet, but we can run an ad in the monthly and quarterly City newsletter for rink attendants. The Park and Recreaxion Committee decided to try to get kids locally for the positions of rink attendarrts. In addition to placing ads in the monthly and quarterly newsletter, Ms. Lien is to post it on the sign in front of City Hall and place an ad in the Quad. Mr. Brown offered to place a notice at the Centennial Middle School. Ms. Lien questioned if the Park and Recreation Committee wanted to host another Community Skate Night. If so, who will be responsible for coordinating the event? It was the cansensus of the Park and Recreation Committee to place an ad in the monthly and quarterly newsletter looking for volunteers to coordinate the Community Skate Night. Mr. Navin requested Ms. Lien remind Public Works to `�vack the weeds" after the first frost at the ice rink. NEW BUSINESS Communit�Bonfire Mr. March explained that on October 23� when the CNN and volunteers are installing the park equipment at Acom Creek Pazk, that this would be the perfect time to host the First Annual City wide bonfire. Mr. Paul McDowell of Northern Forest Products has offered a donation of scrap wood to the City. Mr. March continued, adding that the week of October 10�` - 16'� is the League of Minnesota Cities Week, and this would keep with the flaw of promoting the City. Mr. March felt this would be a greax opportunity to bring the residents out for a non-alcoholic bonfire. YMCA Ms. DeVine mentioned that she attended the last Design Team visit, and was interested in learning more about the YMCA that is proposing to be built in Lino Lakes. Mr. March explained that Daryl Silvemess, who is working with YMCA and Lino Lakes approached him last week. Mr. Silvemess is looking for someone in Centerville to become involved in working with Lino Lakes in establishing events through the YMCA. There could be a discount for residents of Centerville, a teen center for youth and youth activities in the parks. Ms. DeV'me offered to be on the 5 i committee as a representative of Centerville's Park and Recreation Committee. Ms. DeVine mentioned that the Y1V�CA could passibly use Ce�terville's ball fields and ice rink for events. This could also create a partnership with Lino Lakes. DISCUSSIUN ITEMS Available Picnic Tables Ms. Lien explained thax the City received a letter from Mike Jacobson of Anoka County Parks and Recreation. Mr. 7acobson is offering 18 used conerete picnic tables. They are in very good condition and are heavy duty. They woultl be ideal for a setting where the tables would not be ' moved around much. The tables seat 6-8 people, and price is negotiable. The Park and Recreation Committee discussed and came to the conclusion that Centerville would not be 'vnterested in purchasi�g a�y a�these tables. Proposed Architectural Prog,ram / Rice Chain of Lakes Re�onal Park Reserve / Centerville Sv�i�ng BeaEh Buildin� Mr. Navin noted receipt of ttre packet of information from the Anoka County Parks and Recrea.tion Department. Fund Raisers Ms. Lien questioned the Park and Recreation Committee as to whether the committee wants to hold any type of fund raisers to establish more funds in the park dedication account? The park dedication account does get carried over to the next year. The budget does not get carried over into the ne� ye�x. Does the Cammittee wish to establish an enterprise fund? Mr. March added, the Council wants to see the funds allocated, or some type of,accountability. ' ; Mr. Sweeney re-iterated, Park and Recreativn wants a budget of $50,000 to set up in an � Entergrise account to build up funds for future expenditures. Loren and Lisa Abrahamson (1868 Revoir St.l Mr. Navin explained that he had an opportunity to talk to the Abrahamson's regarding selling part of their property to the City and making it an easement for fishing in the pond behind their house. The Abrahamson's didn't see much benefit to themselves. At this point, the issue was dropped. No further action required.

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT ******************************************** To: City of Hugo, Anoka County Parks, City of Lino Lakes, and the Metropolitan Council From: City of Centerville, Parks and Recreation Date: October 28, 1999 The City of Centerville is seeking informarion on plans or ideas for future or existing trails in the surrounding area. Please provide a contactperson, ifpossible, or inform the Citv of Centerville about any information or other sources of information ov u mav have re a� rding trails in your area. In particular, the City of Centerville is interested in planning a trail system that connects to the Chain of Lakes Anoka County Park in two ways and connects to the trail that goes through Hugo. Note that there are pians to develop an extensive trail system in the Chain of Lakes .Anoka County Park and that these trails will connect to a number of communities and their trails. Hugo Trail Connection Possibilities The City of Centerville would like to investigate possibitities in connecting its community with the Chain of Lakes Park and the Vail in Hugo. A trail connecting Hugo to the Chain of Lakes Park looks like n for Hugo, a win for Centerville, and a win for the Chain of Lakes Park. The Hugo trail looks to b a' teresting destination as this trail may extend some distance (Duluth to Saint Paul perhaps), and the Chain of Lakes Park looks to be an interesting destination as there are resources such as the Wargo Nature Center, swimming beach, and other activities. , Chain of Lakes Anoka Countv Park Possibilities The City of Centerville has already determined how it will connect to the Chain of Lakes trail system '� on the southeast side of Centerville Lake through its own Lamotte Park. This connection hooks to �� other trails in the park that circle half of Centerville Lake. An idea for the future wouid provide for I circling the rest of Centerville Lake allowing a trail all around the lake. ��, Other Possibilities �� There may be plans or ideas on other trails in the surrounding area unknown to the City of Centerville. This is the information the City is also trying to coliect to try ta plan for the best possible future of all the people and communities involved. Citv of Centerville Contact Please provide a contact person and/or whatever information or ideas you may have. The contact person for the City of Centerville is Wayne LeBlanc, 651-426-0168, or contact the City of Centerville, 651-429-3232. Thank you.

At the time of property announcement, we had requested additional information on two pazceLs. The first pazcel is the property located directly across the street from LaMotte Park on Centerville Lake. The second pazcel is an approximate ' four acre size wetland at the mouth of Clearwater Creek adjacent to Pehier Lake (please see I attached map). i The Saint Paul Water Utility has indicated that they do not wish to sell the first parcel at this time I � I due to a lease that they ha.ve with a current tenant. I have expressed that the City would have I interest in this property in the future. � The second wetland parcel has been o$�ered for sale at a price of $20,000. The parcel is �, unbuildable and would have a perpetual flooding easement over the land. My thought was that � the Rice Creek Watershed District and/or City may have some interest in the property if there was ' a way to help treat the water prior to discharging into Peltier Lake. I have discussed this issue with Kate Drewry from the RCWD. Kate was aLso curious about this prospect and had their engineers examine the property. After examination it has been determined that it would not be feasible to enhance the existing wetlands to better treat the creek water prior to dischazging into Peltier Lake. The RCWD has determined that they do not wish to purchase this pazcel for the appraised price of $20,000. I recommend that City Council passes a motion to decline the offer to purchase the mentioned wetland. By St. Paul Water Utility policy, they have to offer the property to sale to the City prior to offering the property for sale to adjoining property owners. If the Council wishes to decline the offer to purchase the property, I will draft a letter to the appropriate parties to communicate the Council wishes. �.k� , . ��, ~\\�{% BOARD OF WATER COMMlSSIONERS .1,�N �� 1949 •� ' F � � •�\. / / r P 4UL.

In keeping with this policy, please consider this conespondence an invitation to purchase any or all of the surplus property located in the City of Centerville, as shown on the attachments. The favor of a written response by February 26, 1999 would be very much appreciated. I'll follow up with a phone call next week to informally discuss the City's preliminary in intentions concerning the properties. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

U� _ 1 u� Date: October 29, 1999 To: Chair Michael Navin and Park and Recreation Committee From: Jill Lien Re: Acorn Creek Park Steve Brown expressed concern over the trail easement that goes through the southwest end of the Woods of Clearwater Creek. Steve felt that the � home that is being constructed is almost "on top"of the trail, and ' questioned if the trail was actually included in the plat. I spoke with Mr. � March who informed me that the trail is included in the plat. The trail is � going where it is supposed to go. Steve questioned if the homeowner is �� aware of the tarail going so close to their home. Does the Park and � Recreation Committee want to send a letter to this homeowner? �� MEMO Date: October 29 1999 To: Chair Michael Navin Park and Recreation Committee From: �ill Lien Re: Thank You Letters Enclosed you will find two different Thank You letters.
